Chapter 676: Misfortune and blessing depend on it
Hearing the name Fatima.
Wu Xian knew that his summoning of the spirit was successful.
He had seen this woman's photo and name in the room where he worshipped last time. She was a member of the pilgrimage team. She had survived many dangers, but she and her teammates turned into a mummy.
Wu Xian looked at her expectantly: "Fatima, do you remember why you are here? Do you know the truth about pilgrimage?"
But Fatima was indifferent to Wu Xian's questions. After saying her name, she just sat there blankly, her body swaying slightly, her eyes dully, and drooling from the corners of her mouth.
Fu Dahai squinted his eyes and burst out laughing: "Ha, she is a fool!"
Everyone was speechless.
Wu Xian grabbed her arm and shook it: "Hey, say something."
He had gone to great lengths to summon Fatima's spirit just to get information, so how could he expect her to say nothing?
After shaking twice, Fatima suddenly screamed and began to tremble while hugging her arms.
"Cold, I'm so cold..."
The clothes she was wearing were quite thick, with only the clothes around her stomach being torn, so she shouldn't have felt cold.
But looking at her current appearance, it was as if she was standing in the cold wind of the northeast in a bikini. Her cheeks, which had just regained their rosy color, gradually turned pale, her purple lips kept trembling, and the light on her body gradually dimmed...
She is dying again!
Fatima was already a dead person. Her soul and spirit had been wandering in the dark space for many years and had already been broken into pieces. This body was just a human-shaped piece of flesh used to accommodate the evil spirits.
But they couldn't let her die.
General Huang Yuan carried her to the fat fire, Wu Xian gave her a big gulp of liquor, and Guo Xiake took off his furry leopard-print cloak and put it on her to keep her warm.
Finally, Guo Xiake closed his eyes and raised his hand towards her.
dong dong!
Everyone could clearly hear the sound of Fatima's heartbeat, and her face regained its rosy color.
Guo Xiake said in a deep voice: "I can only let her live a little longer. Whether you can get anything out of her depends on you."
Wu Xian looked at Guo Xiake in surprise. This guy really had the ability to strengthen other people.
All the blessings that befell Guo Xiake came from the 'Heavenly Official - the God of Fortune'.
The first one is [Misfortunes often bring blessings], this blessing makes him suffer from disasters all the time, but every disaster that does not threaten his life will be turned into "blessings" and stored.
The accumulated 'blessings' can be used when needed. Blessings cannot directly improve a person's ability parameters, but they can enable a person to perform beyond their level and be in 'very good shape' every time.
The second blessing is [Share the Blessing]. When Guo Xiake uses the blessing to strengthen himself, he will also forcibly strengthen a teammate without increasing the blessing consumption rate, thereby doubling the utilization rate of the blessing.
The sudden explosion of Fu Dahai and Liu Chen, and the extraordinary performance of Wu Xian's 'Flying Kick', were all thanks to Guo Xiake.
But Guo Xiake would not explain his abilities to anyone.
Because if the effect of this blessing is made public, it may bring him unnecessary trouble, so he will only choose the target of "sharing" based on his own observations.
Fatima, who shared the blessing with Guo Xiake, felt much better, but she still couldn't communicate normally.
Everyone took turns using words to guide her to recall her past, and she finally spoke in a quiet voice:
"At the foot of the snow-capped mountains, there is a beautiful town called Ruicheng."
"My family runs a fur shop in Ruicheng. Some of the fur products in the shop are purchased from factories, and some are handmade by my family." "The fur shop's business is very good, but my childhood life was not happy."
"There is a serial killer in Ruicheng who preys on lone women. All victims are dismembered and the small pieces of body are stuffed into various corners of Ruicheng."
"People often accidentally discover bodies hidden in corners and become insane due to fear."
"The dismemberment killer is like a dark cloud hanging over the heads of everyone in Ruicheng."
"I was very naughty when I was a child. My father Cohen often used the words 'dismemberment killer' to scare me. I would cry every time and hide in my room and dare not come out."
"Every time this happened, my mother would gently hand me a fur doll and hold it in her arms, and I would no longer feel afraid."
"These fur dolls were made by my mother using the leftover scraps of fur coats that were customized by customers. The hair even fell off in some places, but I still like them very much. These dolls have protected me and made me fall in love with the fur industry..."
Wu Xian was a little dumbfounded.
Just now they tried so hard to activate Fatima's memory, but they didn't want her to start talking from her childhood!
What he wanted to know was information about the Valley of the Dead and the pilgrimage, not these family matters.
But Wu Xian could only let her continue talking, because just getting her to speak had already taken a lot of effort, and if he interrupted her memories, she might just die.
Fatima's narration entered a state, her eyes full of memories.
"If it were just this, my childhood would still be considered interesting, but I don't know since when the atmosphere at home became depressing and weird."
"One day, when I was young, I was playing with a fur doll and I found Cohen behind me, staring at me with terrifying eyes, as if he wanted to tear me apart."
"Bruise marks from beatings began to appear on my mother's body. I often heard her crying secretly in the corridor at night..."
After a while of such a depressing life, Fatima's mother suddenly disappeared.
The Ruicheng police classified this incident as a series of dismemberment murder cases. Her mother's body was hidden in the corners of the city like a blind box, waiting to be found by innocent passers-by.
"Many years passed after that."
"The dismemberment killer never committed another crime. My mother became the last victim. Cohen seemed to have become a different person. He drank all day and took away all my fur dolls."
"When I grew up, I took over the fur shop and struggled to support my family."
"Sometimes I secretly wonder if that dismembered murderer was my father. He felt guilty for killing my mother, so he never committed another crime."
"But after his mother's death, Cohen couldn't fake his grief. It was not easy for him to support his family alone for more than ten years."
"So every time I thought about it, I felt sorry for my father and forced myself to stop thinking in this direction."
"Until one day, the world changed."
"All kinds of news are saying that there are ghosts in the world, and everyone must be careful in their lives."
"From that moment on, I began to think that Cohen might really be the dismemberment killer!"
Wu Xian's eyes lit up.
The boring family story finally begins to involve ghosts, and this may be the information they need!
